How does the concept of process and program apply in single tasking systems as opposed to multitasking systems?

A program is a passive entity as opposed to process which is an active entity.essentially program just constitues the disk/memory image of a process in any operating system. This distinction is very important for multitasking operating systes. However in case of Serial Operating systems the scenario is quit diffrent. As you might know that many devices within the systems generate intterupts and when an inturrpt occurs the processor suspends the execution of currently executing task , saves its state and executes some another Interrupt Handler e.k.a a another process. This is exactly the same feature that is exploited by Multi Tasking operating systems to pre-empt a process after its time quantum has expired. So even in serial/sequential operating systems such as DOS etc the distincition of process and program is important because you can only associate execution context with a process not a program. One scenario that i can think of where process & program means one and the same thing to an OS are the Old Batch Operating Systems. There once a job(program) was submitted the control of entire machine goes in the hand of the job(process). There the OS does not /cannot diffrentiate between a process and program. The submitted job does all the necessary scheduling / interrupt control with in itself. Also older batch operating systems ran on hardware that sometime had no notion of Interrupts. I hope that might help you, Thanks
